my freak out moment today
so, for Audrey's school, the teacher has a calender that she sends home with each child everyday. the child gets a sticker on the day if they had good behavior and were respectful...if they are not, she writes a comment and tries to explain what the problem was. Audrey has come home with 2 'write-ups'. And then...the horror...she called me at home during school hours to inform me that Audrey was having some respect issues.
Can I be more devastated? Can I cry anymore about it? Can I be more embarrassed about it?
On one hand, I thought Audrey might struggle with a more strict schedule and more defined rules, but on the other hand, I am so upset that she has been a distraction in her class.
We have instated a reward/punishment plan for her.
I just have my fingers crossed and am trying not to overreact to her problems with following directions and not goofing off. I am hoping that once she realizes that school is not just an extended play date, that she will be able to go with the flow of her class more. She does love school and her teacher, and I want to keep it that way.
Audrey always has been very independent and free spirited. She is so loving and sweet and so smart, She is always kind to others and wants to be friends with everyone. She has so many great qualities, she just wants to do her own thing. But sometimes that just doesn't fly in kindergarten.
I cant help but feel like a bad mother, that all my kids are wild and unruly and out of control. What am I doing wrong? Any advice??
